goodbye weekend...

We had another busy weekend, now we are fully enjoying the rainy weather outside and a movie day inside to wrap up the weekend.

A local radio station here puts on a concert called Star Party every year. The only way to get tickets is to win them.  There are usually 6-8 bands there every year and as soon as we found out Nelly would be performing this year my sister went in to crazy fan mode and finally ended up winning tickets by being caller number 10 when the DJ made the announcement to call in to win!  Nelly did not disappoint and we had a great time. We even got to try some new drinks. It was so loud in there that the bartender couldn't hear us when we ordered our drinks so we got the wrong drinks twice. Hey, we aren't picky;)



On Saturday, my mom and a few of her friends stopped by for mimosas and to see our place. As soon as they left we had to hustle around because our friends were heading over soon.  We grabbed a quick bite to eat and came back home to wait for them. We had a beer when they got here and headed to our next adventure of the day. A boat cruise down the river! Thankfully the weather cleared up from the morning and we had a great time.  For dinner, we originally had reservations at a restaurant without a patio but just couldn't justify sitting inside on such a beautiful night so we went to a new restaurant nearby that has a great rooftop patio.  It's called Louis and is connected to Cossettas.  If you're ever in the St. Paul area I highly recommend trying them both. SO GOOD!


 
And now for dinner...Trader Joe's Orange Chicken with some onions, carrots, and broccoli thrown in for good measure:)


 
 
I hope you all have a great week!
